You can make an adjustable pitman length gauge with a dowel and a screw. Cut the dowel in two, cut off the screw head, drill holes in the dowel pieces, screw together, presto. If in a hurry, you don't even need to cut off the screw head, just drill a hole in one of the pieces of dowel and screw that baby in there using the screw head for the "other" end (if that's the "other" end, what does one call the "other" "other" end??). I find it easier to adjust with two dowel ends. More gripage.
